Bosch - Integra Ascenta 24" Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher with Stainless-Steel Tub - Stainless-Steel

This is an $800 piece of junk. It's never run, except for the first few minutes of the cycle or if you jamb a chair against it -- this has added a lot of interest to our holiday parties during the last YEAR that we've had this non-functioning dishwasher. We've made some great new friends over the last year: The Bosch guys have come out at least once every 8-12 weeks to point fingers at the Best Buy installers, who've come out to point fingers at the Bosch guys. Just a circle of blame about a dishwasher that's never worked. It's also been great to make new friends on the Best Buy service line, where I get to spend 30-40 minutes waiting for them to answer or on hold. The awesome thing is how the Best Buy installers never call back, so you have to call repeatedly week after week. Then, after never getting this thing to work and stringing things out for a year, they have the audacity to say the warranty's expired. Amazing!

We did a significant amount of research before purchasing this based on reputation and professional consumer reviews and this dishwasher has definitely lived up to its potential. Runs very quietly (so quietly that my wife can't always tell its on and we can run it at night with our bedroom on the other side of the wall) and cleans well. The only thing that's taking some getting used to is that usually with most control panel on-the-front units you lock the machine and it starts automatically. That isn't available here since the control panel is hidden. Because of this we've had a few cases where it wouldn't start when we thought it was supposed to or we pressed something by accident and it kept restarting before we were ready. Not a huge problem, just part of the learning curve. Other than that, fantastic.

We had mixed feelings about purchasing a Bosch dishwasher. We heard that they were very quiet but didn't have a good drying cycle. I agree with the noise factor but disagree with the the drying part. Our dishes are always dry except for the plastic storage containers and lids - but I think that is true with any dishwasher. The racks are able to fit quite a bit and the silverware caddy is removable. Overall, a great purchase. I didn't realize that the dishwasher had the Bosch design on the door. After having it installed, I didn't want to have to remove it and return it. My husband was able to scrub off the logo without it scratching the door.

It was a great dishwasher for the price. The distance between racks allows my large dishes to fit easily. It's very quiet and easy to program. I like the controls in the top, it makes it easy to keep the outside clean.

So far so good and it is very quiet and runs well. I gave it 4/5 stars as we have only had it for a few weeks but we really like it so far. It is much quieter than our old dishwasher and seems to to work very well. The plates and contents do come out with a bit more water or moisture on them but that is attributed to the energy efficiencies that come with the washer. So overall we are happy with it and (if it is reliable over the next few years) we would definitely buy it again.

I don't do many dishes, but this has been a good unit so far. Loved how quiet the machine is. You seriously almost cannot tell it is running, especially if you have the tv on. Used to be I would have to turn the tv up to drown out the dishwasher. Bosh seems to be a great product.

my previous dishwasher had way too many moving parts and fell apart quickly. I chose this one because of the room and no moving parts

This dishwasher works well. It has a stainless steel interior. It does not hold as many dishes as most dishwashers I am used to (or is just oriented in an inconvenient way). The price was average for this level machine. As with most Bosch machines there is no heated dry feature. If you are used to a heated dry, this machine will not dry your plastic plates/cups, etc. well. The typical ceramic/metal plates utensils are fine. It uses a more efficient heat induction method. The sound (or lack there of) is excellent. It is one of the cheapest models I saw that was that quiet (50 dB and under). All around a good buy
